AN: Okay so this one is going to look really short… I'm glad I could finally update though!
Chapter 6
Facing Facts
Bailey's P.O.V.
I walk back into the hospital wing. Leo had told me that Sammy wanted me back. I stopped to see Sammy. She looked worse than before. I rush over to her and I took my seat in the chair by her bed.
"Sammy, now what happened?" I asked feeling worried.
"It…it was…her." She chokes out. Sammy looks and acts like she would hardly if ever cry. But truly she is super sensitive. Especially ever since Leo let Rachel come here. He thought it would help her; it didn't it just made things worse. I've always felt bad for Sammy. I mean how could you not? I've never known my real Dad and my step-father isn't much to talk about. He wasn't all that great, but he sure as Hell let me be.
"Sammy." I said. I sat on the edge of her bed on her left side. My finger tips tingled as I itched to touch her again.
"Bailey it was terrible. When she touched me…it…it all just came gushing back into me. It was like the flood gate of bad memories was opened upon me." She cried. Sammy carefully laid her head on my lap. That was the thing about Sammy. She liked similes and metaphors and figures of speech, and the ones she used were great. My breath caught in my throat, but I shook it off. I hug her gently around the shoulders and neck.
"Shh. Sammy It's okay. I'm here for you." I said and stroked her hair out of her face. She nodded weakly.
"I love you Bailey. I'm so glad that you broke me out of that shell." Sammy said as she was calming down. My voice caught in my throat. This shouldn't bother me. We've said this kind of stuff all the time, but now to me it means a lot ore.
"Same here Sammy. Same here." I manage to say.
Leo eventually came in to tell me that I had to let Sammy get some rest. He was going to re-break her shoulder tomorrow. I was going to come for that. I mean I just have to be there for her. When Leo shooed me out I left to go to my room.
I flopped down on the bed and I thought about Sammy. I sighed. "Face it Bailey. You love your best friend." I muttered to myself.
I sighed again and I knew I had to face the facts. I was in love with Sammy. My heart said it was right but my mind said it's not. But maybe there was another option. No I can't…but it could…
AN: So really really really short, but what you all think? It's a cliff hanger. Can you guess what Bailey is thinking of? What is her other option? Get it right and you'll get a cookie!
